Indians, RHP Brett Myers agree to 1-year deal

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians have agreed to terms with free agent right-hander Brett Myers on a one-year contract.

Myers, who pitched for Houston and the Chicago White Sox last season, will get a chance to win a spot in Cleveland's starting rotation.

His deal with the Indians includes a club option for 2014. It will not be finalized until he passes a physical. Myers went 3-4 with a 3.14 ERA in 35 relief appearances with the White Sox, who acquired him in a July trade with the Astros.

The 32-year-old was 0-4 last season with a 3.52 ERA in 35 games for Houston. Myers has a 97-93 career record with a 4.20 ERA in 249 starts.

He spent eight seasons with Philadelphia before signing as a free agent with Houston in 2010.
